This sentence completely defeated Sun Dabiao. Bi Xuansheng's words were so accurate that when he tried to refute, there was no flaw. Sun Dabiao understood at this time: his trick of "stepping on two boats" to see the wind direction could no longer be played.
Okay. Even if his "good brother" Feng Haijiao didn't give him this shit, the Australian County Magistrate Wang wouldn't allow himself to be a "sitting tiger" here.
"...It's not a student's wild guess," Bi Xuansheng was already confident at this moment, "It won't take three or five days before the thieves will make a fuss about this and ask Mr. Sun to give up Dalangwei - not wanting your whole family to be responsible for it.
Nor do you want to 'punish the murderer'..."
Sun Dabiao had completely fallen into a state of trance at this moment. Bi Xuansheng lowered his voice and said: "Master Sun, time waits for no one. You always want to cope with all changes by remaining unchanged, but you don't know that what the Kun thieves hate the most is this 'unchanged'. What they want
Wherever you go, huge waves are set off, and thousands of years of established laws are thrown into disarray. Even if you don't want to be an official of the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming Dynasty was around, you could always do whatever you wanted. Did the county ever
Any objections? To put it bluntly, as long as you don't rebel, you will be an 'official' in Yangshan County, but if you don't do it, you are supporting the Ming Dynasty. You are supporting yourself - please think twice."
After much thought, Sun Dabiao finally made a decision: board Feng Haijiao's boat! However, he still had a bit of luck in his heart, thinking that maybe County Magistrate Wang would not want Dalangwei. If so, there would be room for change, so he refused.
After saying nothing, he just ordered people to quickly invite Zhang Tianbo to "discuss the matter."
Zhang Tianbo was shocked when he got the news. Feng Haijiao was so bold, which greatly exceeded his expectations. But now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in complaining. The three of them are now grasshoppers on the same line, and whoever is unlucky will lose everyone else.
It was a hard time. He agreed with Sun Dabiao's view. No matter what, he should try to get "lenient treatment" first.
"... Go and find out what price Magistrate Wang wants." Sun Dabiao said, "Although I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, I don't want to fall out with the Australians right now."
"This, I wonder how far this little brother can go?"
"As long as he doesn't want my Dawangwei, I'm willing to do it even if he wants my wife." Sun Dabiao said, "There's nothing else to say."
Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Wang was not interested in Sun Dabiao's wife, but he wanted to get Sun Dabiao's sweetheart - Dalangwei.
Feng Haijiao was indeed vicious. After hearing Wang Chuyi's conditions, Zhang Tianbo knew that there was no room for recovery. The next thing to do was to decide how he would stand.
He lowered his head and crossed his hands and said: "I will go to Dalangwei now to convey the master's intention to Sun Dabiao. However, Dawangwei is the ancestral property of Master Sun. He regards it as a treasure, and he is afraid that he will not be able to part with his wife...
"
"Dalangwei used to be the land of the Ming Dynasty, so how did it become his ancestral property? Besides, it is now the world of the Song Dynasty." Wang Chuyi said with a smile, "Go ahead and tell Sun Dabiao that as long as he does this, I will protect his family property.
No worries, live happily and peacefully and become a rich man."
"Yes, I understand." Zhang Tianbo sighed secretly and had to retreat.
Zhang Tianbo went back downstairs and thought about it. Among the "Three Hegemons of Yangshan", his strength is the smallest. It is only because of the title of "Head Catcher" that he can be called Feng Haijiao and Sun Dabiao. At the moment, although he has a "
Although he has the title of "Detective Captain", he actually has no involvement in all affairs in the county. The people who manage public security are naturalized cadres brought by the Australians themselves. Both Luo Yiming and You Ciren only asked him about the situation, and
Don't want him to take part in specific actions - he can feel that these two "fake men" completely distrust him, and are even full of hostility.
As for his specific job, it is actually to act as a lobbyist in the middle.
Now Feng Haijiao has been recruited by the imperial court, and Sun Dabiao has such a thing... With Zhang Tianbo's mind, he naturally understands that he is useless. If he can't protect this thief, he will use himself to sell the good of the people.
. He has many enemies. Ever since the Australians entered Yangshan, the Yamen has been receiving complaints against him. Some of them have written complaints and openly beat drums to cry out for injustice, while others have secretly and anonymously submitted complaints... Several of them have been retained by the Yamen.
His disciples and grandchildren secretly told him that these things were kept with County Magistrate Wang and "carried in a special paper bag."
Although Wang Chuyi suppressed all these materials, there was no legendary person who could win people's hearts and "burn them with fire" in front of him. This made Zhang Tianbo secretly worry that one day "the bird will be wiped out."
When "hiding", these are the ironclad evidence of facing the scene.
Zhang Tianbo thought about it and was in a dilemma. He had to go to Li Shuangkuai to ask for advice.
"This matter is nothing special." After hearing his disciple's troubles, Li Shuangkuai smiled slightly and said, "I have an idea. But the difference between winning and losing is between 50 and 50. If you lose, you will be doomed and there will be no chance to come back again.
.”
Zhang Tianbo thought to himself, isn’t this the same as not saying anything?
"Please ask the master to give guidance to the disciples."
Li Shuangqi coughed and whispered: "Australians and us are not the same people."
Zhang Tianbo's eyelids twitched and he said: "Master! We who are public servants have always been in the same category as those who are officials..."
Li Shuang quickly shook his head: "You are wrong about this. Although we are humble servants in public service, we have the same fate as the officials. We have to rely on the prestige of the officials. What about the officials?
They have to use us as their pawns. No matter whether he is Hai Rui or Mr. Yan Ge, whether he is clean or dirty, he has to use us. It's just that the rules are tighter and looser. What about the Australians?"
Zhang Tianbo was stunned and said: "Speaking of it, it is indeed different from the Ming Dynasty..."
"That's what happened," Li Shuangkuai's face was a little gloomy, "Although I am no longer working in the yamen, I still know a little bit about the affairs of the Australian yamen and the county these days."
"Master, what you mean is..."
"Australians and the Ming Dynasty are not the same people," Li Shuangkuai said sadly, "There is no need for people like us."
Zhang Tianbo understood what Li Shuangkuai meant. If he followed the Australians, no matter what the result was, he would definitely be "nothing to eat."
"Disciple Sun understands."
"As long as you understand." Li Shuang said quickly, "But in this Ming Dynasty, I don't think I can support Adou. There is no need to rely on the government for three to five years... The choice is all up to you..."
Zhang Tianbo came out of Li Shuangkuai's house and was in a daze when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. He couldn't help but startled. When he looked closely, it was Jiang Xiaotian.
Jiang Xiaotian was originally a gangster, but he could only work as a long-term laborer when he hid in Li Shuangkuai's village. Although he didn't have to work in the fields, he was not as happy as a thief. Such a boring and hard life had long made him unbearable.
I felt lonely. Seeing that the order in Yangshan County was gradually calming down and the roads were being used by business travelers, I couldn't help itching my hands and wanted to go out to do some "business".
Since ancient times, a lone robber like him would have been impossible without the care of someone in the yamen. But as soon as this Australian came, there were no acquaintances in the yamen - the ones who were retained were those with relatively clean resumes. Even though there was some friendship at first
, when he saw an "old friend" like Jiang Xiaotian, he would hide away faster than a rabbit. If he couldn't hide, he would just talk nonsense. Jiang Xiaotian was so smart, he knew that all these people were unreliable.
After thinking about it, I thought of the former head catcher and current detective captain. He had been familiar with Zhang Tianbo in the past, and he made a lot of "tribute" every year, so he was quite familiar with him. But he had never had the opportunity not long ago.
, seeing him coming out alone at this moment, he was not willing to let him go, so he took him and invited him to drink.
Zhang Tianbo was depressed and had no way out, and wanted to drink to drown his sorrows. He pushed and pushed him and went to Jiang Xiaotian's place - this was the countryside, and there were no wine shops or restaurants. The Li family brewed their own wine.
Jiang Xiaotian took the money out and asked the kitchen to cut a plate of cured meat and get some dried fruits. The two of them poured the wine to each other in Jiang Xiaotian's room.
After a while of changing glasses, the wine was getting better. Jiang Xiaotian revealed that he wanted to go out to "do business" again and wanted to ask Zhang Tianbo to "take care of" him.
"...As long as I'm willing to take care of it, our rules will remain the same." Jiang Xiaotian said, "Get some more money so you can prepare for emergencies. It's become too powerful these days."
Zhang Tianbo smiled bitterly and said, "You still expect me to take care of you, but I don't even know who to look for to take care of you!" As he said this, he took advantage of his drunkenness to pour out all his complaints.
"...I'm in the Yamen now, and I'm not even a shitty detective captain." He shook his little finger, "Australians look down on our group of people! We are all brought from Qiongzhou.
Fake Kun. Even if we promote a few old people from the past, we will always choose those who are honest and incompetent."
"I see." Jiang Xiaotian nodded and said, "The Kun thieves are so uninteresting, why should I still follow them? Why don't you go out and do it yourself?"
"Fuck on your own? It's not that easy." Zhang Tianbo, who was sixty-seven points drunk, sighed, "I'm no better than Feng Haijiao, Sun Dabiao and the others. They have a plate and minions. I, Zhang Tianbo, work in the county, so I can rely on
A face. Now that Australians don’t give me a face, what can I use to fool around?”
"If you don't leave me here, I have a place to stay!" Jiang Xiaotian slapped the table and said, "It's so frustrating, what else are you doing?!"
"What else can I do if I don't do this? The imperial court has run away, and I'm just a policeman. It's easy to go home and live a life in vain. It's just that I have been a policeman for many years..."
He didn't say any more and just sighed. But Jiang Xiaotian knew that he had many enemies in Yangshan. Without an official bodyguard to protect him, he would not be able to sleep well when he returned home. Thinking of this, there was really no way out, and he couldn't help but
He also sighed, quite disappointed. Suddenly he remembered Bi Xuansheng who had quietly come here not long ago, and asked:
"Brother Zhang, do you know the new master Bi Xuansheng from Feng Haijiao's place?"
